    I wish I could tell you that Andy fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that . . . . . . but prison is no fairy-tale world.

    What's the story with these pics? When/where were they taken???

    The Morgan Freeman-dude is cool tho. Just sits there and looks so cool, like a 1930's jazz musician or something.

    And fair play to the Garda; that clown went for him, and looks to be trying to get him around the neck. Screw that, mace the fúcker and ram the ASP Baton up his arse!!! That'll learn him!:D

    They called him Red.

    Something to do with being Irish...

    In the book he was Irish. There's a line in the film where someone refers to Red as being Irish and it makes no sense because he's not Irish in the film:D

    I think they just left it in for the laugh.

    HAHA!

    I was there when it happened! It went like this:

    A lot of people were down the Spanish Arch drinking. Suddenly this guy started taking off his clothes and getting down to his boxers (like in the pictures). So the guard tried to stop him, only the dude started fighting back and tried to push the poor guard into the Claddagh. At which point he took out his mace, sprayed him in the eyes, took out his baton (as you can probably see in the second last picture there), and hit the guy once or twice.

    Once he hit the guy, a group of about 20 people who had been sitting on the steps drinking, stood up and started yelling for him to stop. Probably came very close to a mini riot had the guard continued.

    After about 5 minutes backup arrived and everything went back to normal.

    I should probably add that what you can't see in the pictures is that the guard almost went into the Claddagh. Maybe about 2 steps more and he would've been in.

    @Morlar - it was probably about a week or 2 ago now.

    Oh and the guard was also by himself when this happened. And once the guy got maced, a small crowd gathered around - must have been pretty scary for the guy.

    It sorta does, doesn't it? Though I was looking at that picture a bit carefully, and you can actually see him being hit with the baton pretty hard - look at the leg.

    It must've hurt like a mofo! It's also pretty funny to see the smug look on the face of the guy wearing the sunglasses

    In which picture? In one he's holding a can of pepper spray and in another he's holding a baton.

    There's a lovely Aer Lingus ad in Bond street station at the moment for weekend flights to Dublin.

    I think this would look quite good beside it. :pac:
